Como fazer Mrs Tawes Crab Casserole

Gently combine the chopped egg whites and crab meat in a large bowl. Handle with care to avoid breaking the crab lumps.
Season with salt and pepper.
In a separate bowl, mash the egg yolks with a fork.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking constantly.
Stir in the mashed egg yolks, dry mustard, vinegar, and olive oil. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency (about 5 minutes).
Pour the hot sauce over the crab mixture and gently fold to combine.
Pour the crab mixture into a buttered 1-quart casserole dish.
Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the top.
Dot with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and the topping is golden brown.
